Fiorentina comfortably beat relegation battlers Reggina 2-0 to maintain a firm grip on fourth place in Serie A on Sunday.

Goals either side of the break from Giampaolo Pazzini and Adrian Mutu ensured the win while Reggina hit the post through Franco Brienza before Fiorentina’s Manuel Pasqual hit the crossbar as both sides served up an entertaining encounter.

But the hosts put the result beyond doubt in the 90th minute as Vieri and Massimo Gobbi set off on a fast counter-attack that resulted in Mutu picking up the ball in the area and blasting home from 12 yards.

The result leaves Fiorentina four points clear of Sampdoria and AC Milan while Reggina drop to the foot of the table.
